My family had a wonderful time. It was very convenient to have access to the canal and a pool. We had plenty of space and the property was clean. We will definitely be staying again.

The house had a great setup for hosting a lot of people. Lots of places to sleep, comfy beds and plenty of space to hang out, fish and swim. The property was a little older and some repairs were needed-for example, the back upstairs deck had wooden planks that did not seem secure, and the whole patio was wobbly. We were nervous to have a lot of people on it at one time. The indoor floors seemed soft or uneven in places. I also noticed that the drain pipe for the washing machine dumped water out from the second story into the grass below. It could not have been to-code. I tried to reach the host several times to get an extension cord to be able to plug in the outside tv downstairs, and I got responses that they were checking on it, but I never got resolution. We ended up buying our own cord. Then we couldn't find the remote to turn the tv on. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to watch college football while hanging out downstairs. I will say that the house was very clean and smelled good. We had a great time there and would book again!

Overall Rating: 5/10 StarHere's my honest review.First, the pictures online look great, but unfortunately, they do not accurately represent the property's current condition. The place is definitely in need of some updates, including fresh paint, new cabinetry, replacement of damaged doors, and repairs to furniture. Some of the couch cushions had rips and tears, and several of the beds were uncomfortable.The biggest selling point of this property is the pool. If you're traveling with a larger group and want somewhere to relax, swim, and hang out, this could be a good option. The pool definitely made our vacation more enjoyable.However, if you don't need a pool or aren't traveling with multiple people, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Without the pool, I honestly would not consider staying here again.Would I stay here again? Possibly, but only if we had a group of people wanting to enjoy the pool and spend time together. Even then, I would explore other options first.Overall, this property has a lot of potential. With fresh paint, updated cabinetry, repaired furniture, new doors, and more comfortable beds, it could easily be a 10/10 experience.My final rating is 5/10. The pool was great, but for the price we paid, the condition of the property was disappointing compared to what was advertised online.

Excellent location, we loved the dock and being right on the canal. Good value for money in an off peak time, but probably not worth it with peak pricing. The house is sorely in need of work and updates, and the cleanliness was lacking (inside was ok but outside was littered in cigarette butts). The property management company were easy to communicate with and when the pool pump wasn’t working they did send someone out same day to fix it - points awarded there

The best thing about this property is the kids loved the pool and there are plenty of (uncomfortable and broken) beds. Internet didn't work upon arrival, called maintenance but ended up fixing it myself. Roaches crawling up walls and on kitchen counters. Specifically asked if there were crab traps and was told yes, but there were none. House needs major updating. Safety gate is broken. Screened in deck is not screened in at all, Fence is not dog proof. Showers are tiny except master bedroom, where the toilet area is tiny.Great location tho! We had a great time despite all these things. The multiple AC units kept the house cool. The downstairs rooms made it easy for elderly guests to enjoy. Quiet neighborhood. Kids fished the whole week!
